From the restaurant's website:
"Every day we create two unique nine-course tasting menus–chef's tasting and a tasting of vegetables–each a series of smaller, focused dishes. No single ingredient is ever repeated throughout the meal.... We want the peak of sensation on the palate to be all that you feel." Full bar. Serving lunch Friday through Sunday, dinner daily.
Reservations required. Jacket required. Full bar. Serving dinner nightly, lunch Fri only. Named fifth best restaurant in the world – and best in the U.S. – by Restaurant magazine in 2008. One of San Francisco Chronicle's 2008 Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants.
"Plainly put, The French Laundry is unlike any other dining experience. Part of its appeal has to do with intricate preparations, often finished tableside and always presented with uncommon artistry and detail, from the food itself to the surface it's delivered on. Other strengths are the service (superfluous, formal, and attentive) and the sheer length of time it takes to ride chef Thomas Keller's culinary magic carpet."
